The Double Life Of A Restaurateur: Keith McNally Selects

Series Site

When one thinks of Keith McNally many words come to mind; bright, brazen and innovative are some that describe him. The New York Times has referred to him as “The Restaurateur Who Invented Downtown.”  Keith has left an indelible imprint on downtown New York with his legendary restaurants that shifted the culinary scene and put downtown New York on the map. 

His restaurants also have a deeply cinematic feel, so it makes sense that Keith is a cinephile at heart. He even made a film that premiered at the Cannes film festival in 1991, End Of The Night. The Roxy Cinema asked Keith to guest program a special series to launch this September. The series is called THE DOUBLE LIFE OF A RESTAURATEUR. Keith McNally will kick the series off in person on September 15th and introduce Sexy Beast on 35mm.

Additional films in the series are Dog Day Afternoon (35mm), The Graduate (35mm), The Third Man (35mm), Klute(35mm), The Conversation (35mm), The Double Life Of Veronique, Chinatown (35mm), and Husbands and Wives (35mm). We may even have a special screening of End Of The Night. Stay tuned for updates!
